I'm still here with my torches and knives! I saved the address this time, so I shouldn't get lost again!

I've roasted several varieties of peppers-- red, orange, yellow, poblano, and also some sweet onions.

I've carved pumpkins for the entrance, and now I'm working on smaller pumpkins for the individual tables. We also have sweet and spicy roasted pumpkin seeds for salads!

Of course. Our cornbread is gluten-free and we also have a lovely rosemary focaccia. Why don't a bring you a piece of each?

I pressed some apples and pears to make fresh cider. I'm thinking of fermenting some as well.

Mmm, this cinnamon infused hot cider is warming me right up. I'll make pumpkin soup 8ball. Can you make some sort of dessert we can serve hot today? Maybe bananas foster or those individual chocolate cakes with the melty chocolate inside? Or whatever your pastry chef creativity leads you to!

Yes, let's do the wine and cheese tasting Monday. I can ferment over the weekend.

In addition to non-alcoholic cider, I've also done a mulled apple cider with calvados.

I'm roasting some carrots and fennel with a fresh thyme garnish. We also have maple-ginger glazed tempeh and wasabi cashew rice pilaf, served with a sriracha creme sauce.

I'm hopping dtbk, 8ball, or joyfulgirl will come in soon and set up a table for white wine tasting, with additional cheeses, fruits, and breads. In the mean time, if you want something I haven't mentioned, just ask!

Here is a plate allychristine. Help yourself to whichever bread and cheese you would like. My favorite red is Cabernet Sauvignon, but that's a really big bold red. You might like the pino noir best out of the reds, it's much softer and subtler. But, what is your favorite white? There is lots of white chilled, we just don't have a table set up yet.

I guess all my employees are coming in late today. I better put some white wines out for tasting.White Wines:German RieslingFrench Sauvignon Blanch (my favorite white. shhh, don't tell the pinot grigio)Italian Pino Grigio (used to be my favorite white, I still love it)a very oaky Oregon Chardonnay (supper oaky is the only way I like Chardonnay) Portugese Vinho Verde (very lightly effervescent)

dtbk, 8ball, and joyfulgirl, maybe you can set up some sparkling wines or dessert wines when you come in? Or some other varieties of red or white that I missed that you would like to offer?

Choirqueer, dtbk pressed some apple and pear cider. They are both very good. Would you like to try one of each?8ball, great, thanks for setting up the sparkling and dessert wines. Yes, there is a South African Shiraz. Would you like to try it?

I have been traveling all day today and now I am hungry and would love some tapas. I'm so glad I made it! *munches happily* Let me brew up some spiced apple cider, too -- I'll make a non-alcohol pot, but if people want to add their own alcohol they can go right ahead.
